About this home

From the moment you step onto the front porch, it's clear this 1928 home is something special. Brimming with charm and bathed in natural light, the interior offers a bright, happy energy that's hard to find. The main level features an effortless flow, including a spacious living and dining area framed by large windows and soaring high ceilings that create an incredible sense of scale and airiness throughout. The updated white kitchen is a chef's delight with stainless appliances, connecting seamlessly to a cozy lounge area and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite is a true standout and a rare find for a home of this vintage. This retreat offers the luxury of its own private bathroom and a walk-in closet-providing a level of convenience and privacy that is hard to come by in a classic build.

Recent comparable sales

The 5 closest recent sales to this home, nearest match first — same building where possible, then the surrounding streets, widening only when there is nothing closer. These are recorded sale prices from the MLS, not estimates. No automated valuation is shown, because what a home is worth depends on condition, layout and timing that a formula cannot see — call John at 203·883·3399 to read them properly against this home.
